Breaking News: NWG Is Right. Again.

Yes, readers, NWG has become psychic. She knows England will win the tournament. She feels it in her bones.

And crucially, although she only caught the last twenty minutes of the game (work reasons, why can't NWG get a job in the cricketing world? It would make her life so much easier), she knew England would get the runs.

New Zealand looked a bit down and out.

Only trouble is Pakistan remain. And that's bad news for England because it means they have to beat them again. Tiresome.

And no, you haven't stumbled on to a blog written by an Australian who thinks they're English. NWG is genuinely English, which means:

1. She knows England can be rubbish.

2. They can't cope in stressful situations (you should have seen NWG on the tube when it was packed and she couldn't get a seat).

Nightwatchgirl's Pick of the Cricket News this week

Farewell Ricky Ponting and Michael Hussey. NWG always enjoys it when useful Australian batsmen retire, even if one of them is moody and small.

Stuart Broad is on NWG's naughty list. If she ever meets him she would like to educate him in how to be a polite human being instead of being mean to Sir Ian Botham. It's not on Stuart. And that's probably why your heel hurts. Just saying.

Of all the things to invent in the world of cricket, did we really need wickets that light up when they get hit? NWG is doubtful. The Big Bash therefore falls short in terms of innovation. She would have preferred one fielder to have springs in their shoes so they could jump really high or something equally as funny/ridiculous/dangerous.

NWG would like to advertise herself. For once. She advises you all to listen to this podcast and note all the kind things they say about NWG...
